I am a little confused here... 1) Does the motive really matter assuming the
quality would be undeterred?
Of course, doing a bad thing with high quality is no good than doing
good thing with bad quality ;)
2) Yes it is a shame. Yes it is business, they are doing.
Well, most corporates/organizations will offer you a decent stipend if
you do your interns there. But the problem is you will most probably be
not working on anything that they are going to make use of. Unless when
your work is at par to their expectations on their own employee's
performance or you have done something far too useful for them to
neglect, it's just another intern for them. Mostly it is a passive
talent hunt for future employees.
3) I guess I have no choice but to bank on a good project since _I_ have
wasted my engineering life in this sordid institution.
There is a saying in Tamil, "Ikkaraiku a'karai pachhai". A talented
archer will still hit the target with a bamboo bow. It doesn't matter
how your institution is, which in my personal experience every
institution is more or less the same, it's your own personal
aspirations, self-motivated initiatives and hard work which is going to
pay. It's *your* damned life and future, and it is utter
irresponsibility to blame others for making a mess of it.
4) I saw the sites you wanted me to go through. The obstacle there was that
it is a freaking ocean out there and I am to pick a drop of water out of
that. I am really confused as to which project I should choose even within a
particular sub category :(
Everybody have to start from some shore and swim. If you don't start
from somewhere, you are never going to swim in the ocean one day :) At
worst case, close your eyes and pick one, take it as a challenge and
contribute to the project. It will at least surely prove to be a
learning experience and will help you pick better projects next time.
